<h2>Arduino Development Environment</h2>
<p>The Arduino development environment contains a text editor for writing code, a message area, a text console, a toolbar with buttons for common functions, and a series of menus.  It connects to the Arduino hardware to upload programs and communicate with them.
</p>
<p class='vspace'></p><h3>Writing Sketches</h3>
<p>Software written using Arduino are called <strong>sketches</strong>. These sketches are written in the text editor. Sketches are saved with the file extension .ino. It has features for cutting/pasting and for searching/replacing text. The message area gives feedback while saving and exporting and also displays errors. The console displays text output by the Arduino environment including complete error messages and other information. The bottom righthand corner of the window displays the current board and serial port. The toolbar buttons allow you to verify and upload programs, create, open, and save sketches, and open the serial monitor.
</p>
<p class='vspace'></p><p><strong>NB: Versions of the IDE prior to 1.0 saved sketches with the extension .pde. It is possible to open these files with version 1.0, you will be prompted to save the sketch with the .ino extension on save.</strong>

<p class='vspace'></p><p>Additional commands are found within the five menus: <strong>File</strong>, <strong>Edit</strong>, <strong>Sketch</strong>, <strong>Tools</strong>, <strong>Help</strong>. The menus are context sensitive which means only those items relevant to the work currently being carried out are available.
</p>
<p class='vspace'></p><h4>Edit</h4>
<ul><li><em>Copy for Forum</em> <br clear='all' /> Copies the code of your sketch to the clipboard in a form suitable for posting to the forum, complete with syntax coloring.
<p class='vspace'></p></li><li><em>Copy as HTML</em> <br clear='all' /> Copies the code of your sketch to the clipboard as HTML, suitable for embedding in web pages.

<p class='vspace'></p></li><li><em>Serial Port</em> <br clear='all' /> This menu contains all the serial devices (real or virtual) on your machine.  It should automatically refresh every time you open the top-level tools menu.
<p class='vspace'></p></li><li><em>Programmer</em> <br clear='all' /> For selecting a harware programmer when programming a board or chip and not using the onboard USB-serial connection. Normally you won't need this, but if you're <a class='wikilink' href='http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Bootloader'>burning a bootloader</a> to a new microcontroller, you will use this.
<p class='vspace'></p></li><li><em>Burn Bootloader</em> <br clear='all' /> The items in this menu allow you to burn a <a class='wikilink' href='http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Bootloader'>bootloader</a> onto the microcontroller on an Arduino board.  This is not required for normal use of an Arduino board but is useful if you purchase a new <span class='wikiword'>ATmega</span> microcontroller (which normally come without a bootloader).  Ensure that you've selected the correct board from the <strong>Boards</strong> menu before burning the bootloader.
</li></ul><p class='vspace'></p><p><a name='sketchbook' id='sketchbook'></a>
</p><h3>Sketchbook</h3>
<p>The Arduino environment uses the concept of a sketchbook: a standard place to store your programs (or sketches).  The sketches in your sketchbook can be opened from the <strong>File &gt; Sketchbook</strong> menu or from the <strong>Open</strong> button on the toolbar.  The first time you run the Arduino software, it will automatically create a directory for your sketchbook.  You can view or change the location of the sketchbook location from with the <strong>Preferences</strong> dialog.
</p>
<p class='vspace'></p><p>'''Beginning with version 1.0, files are saved with a .ino file extension. Previous versions use the .pde extension. You may still open .pde named files in version 1.0 and later, the software will automatically rename the extension to .ino.
</p>
<p class='vspace'></p><h3>Tabs, Multiple Files, and Compilation</h3>
<p>Allows you to manage sketches with more than one file (each of which appears in its own tab).  These can be normal Arduino code files (no extension), C files (.c extension), C++ files (.cpp), or header files (.h). 
</p>
<p class='vspace'></p><p><a name='uploading' id='uploading'></a>
</p><h3>Uploading</h3>
<p>Before uploading your sketch, you need to select the correct items from the <strong>Tools &gt; Board</strong> and  <strong>Tools &gt; Serial Port</strong> menus.  The <a href='#boards'>boards</a> are described below.  On the Mac, the serial port is probably something like <strong>/dev/tty.usbmodem241</strong> (for an Uno or Mega2560 or Leonardo) or  <strong>/dev/tty.usbserial-1B1</strong> (for a Duemilanove or earlier USB board), or <strong>/dev/<span class='wikiword'>tty.USA19QW1b1P1</span>.1</strong> (for a serial board connected with a Keyspan USB-to-Serial adapter).  On Windows, it's probably <strong><span class='wikiword'>COM1</span></strong> or <strong><span class='wikiword'>COM2</span></strong> (for a serial board) or <strong><span class='wikiword'>COM4</span></strong>, <strong><span class='wikiword'>COM5</span></strong>, <strong><span class='wikiword'>COM7</span></strong>, or higher (for a USB board) - to find out, you look for USB serial device in the ports section of the Windows Device Manager.  On Linux, it should be <strong>/dev/ttyUSB0</strong>, <strong>/dev/ttyUSB1</strong> or similar.
</p>
<p class='vspace'></p><p>Once you've selected the correct serial port and board, press the upload button in the toolbar or select the <strong>Upload</strong> item from the <strong>File</strong> menu.  Current Arduino boards will reset automatically and begin the upload.  With older boards (pre-Diecimila) that lack auto-reset, you'll need to press the reset button on the board just before starting the upload.  On most boards, you'll see the RX and TX <span class='wikiword'>LEDs</span> blink as the sketch is uploaded.  The Arduino environment will display a message when the upload is complete, or show an error.  
</p>
<p class='vspace'></p><p>When you upload a sketch, you're using the Arduino <strong>bootloader</strong>, a small program that has been loaded on to the microcontroller on your board.  It allows you to upload code without using any additional hardware.  The bootloader is active for a few seconds when the board resets; then it starts whichever sketch was most recently uploaded to the microcontroller.  The bootloader will blink the on-board (pin 13) LED when it starts (i.e. when the board resets).  
</p>
<p class='vspace'></p><p><a name='libraries' id='libraries'></a>
</p><h3>Libraries</h3>
<p>Libraries provide extra functionality for use in sketches, e.g. working with hardware or manipulating data.  To use a library in a sketch, select it from the <strong>Sketch &gt; Import Library</strong> menu.  This will insert one or more <strong>#include</strong> statements at the top of the sketch and compile the library with your sketch.  Because libraries are uploaded to the board with your sketch, they increase the amount of space it takes up.  If a sketch no longer needs a library, simply delete its <strong>#include</strong> statements from the top of your code.
</p>
<p class='vspace'></p><p>There is a <a class='wikilink' href='Libraries.html'>list of libraries</a> in the reference.  Some libraries are included with the Arduino software.  Others can be downloaded from a variety of sources.  To install these third-party libraries, create a directory called <strong>libraries</strong> within your <a href='#sketchbook'>sketchbook directory</a>.  Then unzip the library there.  For example, to install the <span class='wikiword'>DateTime</span> library, its files should be in the <strong>/<span class='wikiword'>libraries/DateTime</span></strong> sub-folder of your sketchbook folder.
</p>
<p class='vspace'></p><p>To write your own library, see <a class='wikilink' href='http://arduino.cc/en/Hacking/LibraryTutorial'>this tutorial</a>.
</p>
<p class='vspace'></p><p><a name='thirdpartyhardware' id='thirdpartyhardware'></a>
</p><h3>Third-Party Hardware</h3>
<p>Support for third-party hardware can be added to the <strong>hardware</strong> directory of your sketchbook directory.  Platforms installed there may include board definitions (which appear in the board menu), core libraries, bootloaders, and programmer definitions.  To install, create the <strong>hardware</strong> directory, then unzip the third-party platform into its own sub-directory.  (Don't use "arduino" as the sub-directory name or you'll override the built-in Arduino platform.)  To uninstall, simply delete its directory.  
</p>
<p class='vspace'></p><p>For details on creating packages for third-party hardware, see the <a class='urllink' href='http://code.google.com/p/arduino/wiki/Platforms' rel='nofollow'>platforms page</a> on the Arduino Google Code developers site.
</p>
<p class='vspace'></p><p><a name='serialmonitor' id='serialmonitor'></a>
</p><h3>Serial Monitor</h3>
<p>Displays serial data being sent from the Arduino board (USB or serial board).  To send data to the board, enter text and click on the "send" button or press enter.  Choose the baud rate from the drop-down that matches the rate passed to <strong>Serial.begin</strong> in your sketch.  Note that on Mac or Linux, the Arduino board will reset (rerun your sketch from the beginning) when you connect with the serial monitor.
</p>
<p class='vspace'></p><p>You can also talk to the board from Processing, Flash, <span class='wikiword'>MaxMSP</span>, etc (see the <a class='urllink' href='http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Main/Interfacing' rel='nofollow'>interfacing page</a> for details).
</p>
<p class='vspace'></p><p><a name='preferences' id='preferences'></a>
</p><h3>Preferences</h3>
<p>Some preferences can be set in the preferences dialog (found under the <strong>Arduino</strong> menu on the Mac, or <strong>File</strong> on Windows and Linux).  The rest can be found in the preferences file, whose location is shown in the preference dialog.
</p>
<p class='vspace'></p><p><a name='languages' id='languages'></a>
</p><h3>Language Support</h3>
<div><img src='http://arduino.cc/en/uploads/Guide/languagePreferences.png' alt='' title='' /> <br /></div>
<p>The Arduino 1.0.1 software environment has been translated into 30+ different languages. By default, the IDE loads in the language selected by your operating system. (Note: on Windows and possibly Linux, this is determined by the locale setting which controls currency and date formats, not by the language the operating system is displayed in.)
</p>
<p class='vspace'></p><p>If you would like to change the language manually, start the Arduino software and open the <strong>Preferences</strong> window. Next to the <strong>Editor Language</strong> there is a dropdown menu of currently supported languages. Select your preferred language from the menu, and restart the software to use the selected language.  If your preferred language is not supported, the IDE will default to English.
</p>
<p class='vspace'></p><p>You can return Arduino to its default setting of selecting its language based on your operating system by selecting <strong>System Default</strong> from the <strong>Editor Language</strong> drop-down.  This setting will take effect when you restart the Arduino software.  Similarly, after changing your operating system's settings, you must restart the Arduino software to update it to the new default language.
</p>
<p class='vspace'></p><p><a name='boards' id='boards'></a>
</p><h3>Boards</h3>
<p>The board selection has two effects: it sets the parameters (e.g. CPU speed and baud rate) used when compiling and uploading sketches; and sets and the file and fuse settings used by the burn bootloader command.  Some of the board definitions differ only in the latter, so even if you've been uploading successfully with a particular selection you'll want to check it before burning the bootloader.
